Game Review

Chances are if you played either Deca Sports or Deca Sports 2, you ended up walking away greatly disappointed. These games, which featured a collection of sports to play, felt uninspired, lacked depth, and became tedious rather quick. Hudson Soft is at it again with the third entry in the series, and this title is no different than its predecessors. Deca Sports 3 features 10 events, online...

Hudson Entertainment and GameStop have announced today that they will be hosting a tournament for Wii title Deca Sports on Saturday, June 28th from noon to 3pm at the GameStop Tournament Store, located at 3600 Stevens Creek Blvd. in San Jose.
Three seperate tournaments will be held during the 3-hour timeframe, wherein participants will compete for Hudson games, prizes, and more.
But that's not why I'm reporting this, oh no. The real reason is one which should excite oldschool gamers a bit.
Making his first appearance in the US since 1990 will be Hudson's own game master Takahashi Meijin-- perhaps better known to the oldschool as one Master Higgins. He will be there as a special guest, giving advice on Hudson's latest title.

In those games, the character sported a red cap adorned with Hudson's trademark bee, along with a Hawaiian-style grass skirt.
